According to the release sent out Wednesday, Frazer acknowledged that among the images of child pornography he possessed and distributed were images which depicted minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct with other minors and adults. Frazer has been in custody since his arrest.

In addition to the prison term, Pisano sentenced Frazer to seven years of supervised release and ordered him to pay $7,000 restitution.

In the release, Fishman credited special agents of the FBI’s Child Exploitation Task Force, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Aaron Ford, with the investigation leading to Wednesday’s sentencing.
